Kris handled my divorce and he was always available, answered my questions, and if he didn't have the answer he researched it and got back to me quickly. He is easy to talk to and clearly explained the process ahead of me. He also handled my house sale and closing and that process was smooth. I would use him again and would recommend his services.

Larry is a great litigation attorney. He helped settle my business separation between my partner and I before going into a major lawsuit. Which ended up saving me a lot of money. His experience and knowledge was key in resolving my case quickly. Larry was always easy to get a hold of and answer any questions or concerns I had. I would definitely refer him to anybody that's in need of a good litigation lawyer. Thank you Larry!

I had the pleasure of working with Patrick McLaughlin, Esq., for a traffic ticket. He honestly did not sound very clever on the phone the first time we spoke (perhaps I got him at a bad time) but he is extremely professional, knowledgeable and was able to take care of the ticket quickly and efficiently. I would've had lamented if I did not used him. His rates are also very much reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a traffic ticket lawyer. More than 5 stars!
Thank you,

Horrific attorney! Dropped the ball on my case multiple times and would just shift blame at others. Egotistic as he would never accept any wrong doing or him making a mistake which he does often and is not professional. Very disrespectful, would be rude and yell at you if you would call him more than 1 once a week with ur case and complain that ur calling him too much. Lost over $20,000 because of this attorney. Will never use again and would not recommend his service!

Mr Roach and his team were contracted to handle my grandmother's estate. We met with them, signed paperwork, had questions answered by what appeared to be a enthusiastic team. After those initial meetings, everything has gone downhill. After being assigned executors in N.Y., we needed to file an ancillary petition with the Florida courts. Almost three months later, that process hasn't even been started. Phone calls are ignored. This firm has been very unprofessional, and we are appalled.

I've had the pleasure of working with Dave regularly for nearly 20 years on a variety of complex business transactions, including incorporation, sale&merger, corporate governance, complex IPR licensing, venture capital and debt. In all instances we've been very pleased with every aspect of the work product and the service. I'd recommend Dave to anyone seeking a mature, steady and knowledgeable counsel.
